not PERL, it is not an acronym
You do know that the perl manual page disagrees with you, don't you? From the current blead: 
=head1 DESCRIPTION

Perl officially stands for Practical Extraction and Report Language, except when it doesn't.

...

Perl actually stands for Pathological Eclectic Rubbish Lister, but don't tell anyone I said that.
Are you doubting the written words of Larry? The last phrase actually dates from the manual page of Perl 1.0. Which also mentions Practical Extraction and Report Language. Except that it does so in the NAME section, not the first line of DESCRIPTION.

Only if you send in a patch to p5p to remove the acronyms from the documentation, and get the patch accepted, I'll belief any claims Perl isn't an acronym. Otherwise, it's just your word against Larry's (who has the backing of p5p), and their word carries a lot more than yours.
